Bath resealing in Merriott

Signs you need bath resealing in Merriott

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath resealing in Merriott, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Merriott. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Merriott get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Merriott: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the whole of Somerset?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Merriott. Prices do not change with location.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Resealing in Merriott: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Merriott

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
